Gyilkosság meghívásos alapon
Gyilkosságra várjuk önöket ma este!
Ki állhatna ellen egy ilyen meghívónak? Természetesen a szóban forgó „gyilkosság” egy játék része, és Phyllida Bright alig várja az alkalmat, hogy bevethesse munkaadója, Agatha Christie jóvoltából igencsak fejlett nyomozói képességeit. A gyanúsítottakat a házigazdák, Mr. és Mrs. Wokesley barátai játsszák, Mr. Wokesley pedig rendkívül hitelesen alakítja a holttestet. Ám amikor elérkezne a játék fináléja, kiderül, hogy az élet valóban utánozza a művészetet: Mr. Wokesley tényleg halott!
Miután a játékra szintén meginvitált Cork felügyelő nem érkezett meg időben, a jelen lévő Greensticks közrendőr pedig nincs a helyzet magaslatán, Phyllidára marad a nyomozás lefolytatása. Hamar világossá válik, hogy minden résztvevőnek akadt indítéka a néhai Mr. Wokesley meggyilkolására. Új játék kezdődik tehát, a tét pedig a gyilkos kilétének megállapításán túl a nyomában járó nyomozó, azaz Phyllida élete…
Colleen Cambridge történelmi krimisorozata mesterien idézi meg nagy elődje, Agatha Christie műveit.

American Scare
In January of 1959, Art Copleston was escorted out of his college accounting class by three police officers. In a motel room, blinds drawn, he sat in front of a state senator and the legal counsel for the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee. His crime? Being a suspected homosexual. And the government of Florida would use any tactic at their disposal - legal or not - to get Copleston to admit it. Using a secret trove of primary source documents that have been decoded for the first time in history, award-winning journalist Robert Fieseler unravels the mystery of what actually happened behind the closed doors of the Johns Committee. In this fast-paced true crime story, Fieseler places readers in the centre of the action, illustrating the shocking techniques the government would use to intimidate and break those who they saw as a threat to Florida''s white, conservative identity. The state of Florida would prefer if its history remained buried. But for almost a decade, the Florida Legislature founded, funded, and supported the Johns Committee - an organization using the cover of communism to viciously attack members of the NAACP and queer professors and students. Fieseler describes the heart-breaking ramifications for the citizens of Florida whose lives were imperilled, profiling marginalized residents with compassion, curiosity, and a determination to bring their devasting experiences into the limelight at last. A propulsive, human-centred drama, with fascinating insight into Florida politics, American Scare is a page-turning reckoning of our racist and homophobic past - and its chilling parallels to today.

The Life of Chuck
Stephen King's 'The Life of Chuck' is a 'phenomenal' (USA Today) tale of life and legacy - and now a feature film directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Karen Gillan out in the UK from August 2025. Available for the first time in a beautiful standalone edition in June.
Originally featured in the acclaimed story collection If It Bleeds, this unforgettable, mind-bending tale unfolds in reverse, taking readers through the extraordinary life of Charles 'Chuck' Krantz.
In a crumbling world plagued by natural disasters, collapsing infrastructure, and mass panic, bizarre billboards and advertisements appear throughout town: 'Charles Krantz. Thirty-nine great years. Thanks, Chuck!' Marty Anderson, a schoolteacher, becomes obsessed with these messages as the world, inexplicably linked to Chuck's life, seems to be approaching its end.
Told in three acts, presented in reverse order, The Life of Chuck explores one man's past. We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance. And we see him as a child, in a house haunted by a terrible secret, learning to dance with his grandmother. In these pages King reminds us that life's quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting. King's ability to describe pure joy rivals his ability to terrify us.
Now a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award, The Life of Chuck is a glorious story about community and about humanity at its best, a celebration of joy, mystery, existential wonder, and the multitudes contained in all of us.

Az Úr szukái
Buda, 1464. Marcus, a hóhér nap nap után végzi dicstelen munkáját az Úr nevében, a fáradalmakat pedig kedvese, a Molnár utcai fürdőházban dolgozó Regina karjaiban piheni ki. Egy forró augusztusi délutánon azonban az anyakirályné, Szilágyi Erzsébet különös feladattal bízza meg: derítse ki, mi zajlik a Szűz Mária-sziget zárdájában, ahol egyre-másra halnak meg az apácák. Az idő sürget: az ország türelmetlenül várja, hogy Boldog Margitot a pápa végre a szentek sorába emelje, ám a halálesetek mindezt semmissé tehetik, és nemcsak a klastromra, de a zárdát támogató uralkodóra is rossz fényt vethetnek. Míg egyesek Margit túlvilági bosszújára gyanakszanak, amiért az apácák néhány éve szakítottak "az Úr kutyáival", a Domonkos-renddel, Marcus a titokzatos elhalálozások mögött sokkal evilágibb okokat sejt - ám hogy igazát bizonyítsa, meg kell találnia a gyilkost, legyen az akár szent, akár ember, akár az ördög.
A budai hóhér sorozat második könyvében, A háromfa hölgye című nagy sikerű történelmi krimi folytatásában Marcus, az éles eszű, talpraesett hóhér és Regina ezúttal a Nyulak szigetére indul, ahol a csodák és szentek misztikus világa várja őket, melynek hatása alól az örökké kétkedő hóhér sem tudja magát kivonni.
Gráczer L. Tamás krimije minden ízében izgalmas, lebilincselő olvasmány, a nyomozás hátterében pedig kirajzolódik a Mátyás korabeli Buda és a későbbi Margitszigeten álló zárda szövevényes, ármánykodással és kétes politikai szándékokkal terhes élete.
